Even after having the carburetor professionally rebuilt the engine still often stalls at lights with the transmission in gear, and always stalls if the headlights are on, I installed new spark plugs a week ago and now the engine usually idles smooth for a few seconds before becoming very rough and quickly stalls, I did notice afterwards that my spark plug gapper looks to have some wear on it where the . 035 is, I've had it for years and have gapped many spark plugs for 318 engines, so I have hunch that's part of the problem, but then why does the engine now idle good for a few seconds before getting rough? if I gapped the plugs wrong wouldn't the idle instantly be rough? Is the computer causing all this? I've always wanted the computer removed but always get the same response: "technically its an emission device..." all I want is for the engine to not keep stalling, any advice? car is a 1985 Gran Fury with about 203,500 miles and I should add that when the engine stalls it always starts right back up as soon as I turn the key
